About this map

Ryderwood sits at the northern edge of this drainage-rich landscape in Cowlitz County, where timber and terrain dictate the local geography. The area is defined by the high point of Abernathy Mountain and its namesake ridge, which serves as a significant divide for numerous watercourses. To the north and west, Stillwater Creek and Becker Creek flow toward the valley, while the southern slopes feed a complex network of streams including Germany Creek, Coal Creek, and East Fork Coal Creek.

Evidence of resource extraction is visible throughout the quadrangle, with numerous Borrow Pits and 4WD tracks marking the hillsides around Arkansas Creek and Monahan Creek. A prominent Radio Facility is situated atop the Abernathy ridge, while the northeast corner is anchored by the elevation of Pumphrey Mtn. The dense network of creeks, such as Delameter Creek and Tucker Creek, illustrates the deeply dissected nature of this Pacific Northwest timberland during the mid-1980s.
